Did the Dallas Cowboys leak their 2013 draft board?

Wonder what the Dallas Cowboys’ draft board looked like last month? Well, the actual one might have been accidentally made available because of several photos from inside the Cowboys’ Valley Ranch war room.

Although only one photo is included, the five-round compilation — rounds six and seven were not available — does seem reasonable.

According to the BloggingTheBoys chart, the Cowboys did not have a quarterback, running back, linebacker or center with a first-round grade. Center Travis Frederick, who the Cowboys drafted with their first-round pick, is the fourth-highest player with a second-round grade.

Other notables: Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd was No. 5 overall, a player the Cowboys passed on at No. 18 to trade back with the San Francisco 49ers. Wide receiver Terrance Williams, who the Cowboys landed in the third round and tight end Gavin Escobar, a second-round pick, joined Frederick with second-round grades.

Also, if this is the correct board, of the 18 players the Cowboys gave first-round grades, five were available [Floyd, CB-Xavier Rhodes, WR-Cordarrelle Patterson, TE-Tyler Eifert and DE-Bjoern Werner] when Dallas was on the clock at No. 18. None were available when the Cowboys selected at No. 31.
